Correct let's hope you win otherwise its going to be a very tough watching season

Unlike yours.



Indeed.

Spot on how I see it. You only have to start reeling off names like Brett Mullins, Bradley Clyde etc. before you get quite a list of guys who came here (or other English clubs) who were successes in the NRL to know it doesn't equate to how they'll go here. Usually it's the guys who are seeing it as a real opportunity rather than a nicely paid holiday and Parcell certainly drops into the former. Much questioning and hinting as to why he's leaving Manly and the NRL as if he must come with some sort of issue to lower himself to SL. By the sounds of it it's just a guy who looked like he'd be 2nd choice at Manly behind the coaches preferred guy Koroisau and he wants to be starting games instead so jumped at the chance to come here. Manly have options at hooker and sound like they want to strengthen other areas.

You mean embarrassing calls like back in 2011 when you said that Leeds squad had nothing left in them, needed dismantling and someone needed to stick a fork in them as they were done?.....and they went on to get another 3 GF's, 2 CC's, 1 WCC & LLS

I'd suggest that signing an actual hooker, whilst making us look much more stable, doesn't address the issues we had even if Segeyaro had stayed - namely fullback and halfback. On paper at least we look weaker than every other top 4 contender in those positions, albeit with the possibility of a lot of upside in Golding/Sutcliffe/Lilley/Aston.

Once again we are gambling with the season, starting out with a player in the key position who is second choice option at the team who finished I think 3 rd bottom of the NFL.
Sure the Keyboard warriors will correct me if I'm wrong.
No disrespect to Matt hope he becomes a club legend I just think that at this time we need an established hooker one with mongrel like mclorum to work with Lilly and sutty in the absence of mags and rob and their imminent retirement.
Also this is a gamble because Matt has a history of bad hamstring
Cheap option

And 3......2......1........

Every signing can be seen as a gamble Segeyaro was seen as a "Marquee" signing look how that turned out whereas Kylie Leuluai was received with a "who's he" type of reaction.
I do question GH wrt strengthening Fevs roster during a major transitional period for us & especially after a cluster of a year but with this particular signing i can see why we've gone down this route & i personally am prepared to give the kid a chance.

Regarding McIlorum you're talking about someone who we haven't seen play since suffering a serious long term injury and even heard noises during the year that he might never recover from it. Even if he does return he could well be a shadow of the player he was.

true, but Leeds are putting faith in their homegrown players.. It may prove misplaced but too few British halves in the game

TBF I'm sure that the lions share of supporters will do just that, support him.

Its really only one agenda driven poop stirrer on here who's enjoying tugging himself off by belittling someone before he's lifted a finger for the club.
